Review: The Legend of The Wolves of Gunflint Lake

The Legend Of The Wolves of Gunflint Lake

All Quotes Are From The Book.

The Legend Of The Wolves of Gunflint Lake is a delightful story that shares the powerful message about the importance of valuing your community, animals and nature.

"Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." ~ Desmond Tutu

"So it was true with the people who lived a long, long time ago on Gunflint Lake. They were people of the land who cared for one another. Each person in the tribe valued and honored and knew their importance for the success of the community. From the chief, to the littlest baby, they instinctually knew that each was a thread in the web of life." ~ Lisa Sellman

Lisa Sellman takes children on a journey through the eyes of the native american elder storytellers who show the importance of passing down the torch from generation to generation by carrying on the powerful message of the harmonious lessons and connections between nature and man.

Lisa Sellman brilliantly includes life lessons from the heart that teaches the value and respect for all. Whether it be human, nature or animals. She shows how everything is intertwined and has it's own divine purpose. We love how Lisa chose to use the wolf character as the source to guide the children and teach them the wisdom of the universe and encourages them not to forget the ways of gratitude.

The illustrations by Chris Kraetz pulls off a believable portrayal of living life at Gunflint Lake amongst the wolves.

Carol And Stacy's Review Of Second Sight By Judith Orloff, M.D.

Second Sight ~ An Intuitive Psychiatrist Tells Her Extraordinary Story And Shows You How To Tap Your Own Inner Wisdom. Judith Orloff, M.D.


Stacy and Carol's Review Of Second Sight By Judith Orloff, M.D. 
All quotes are from Second Sight.


We could tell the minute Second Sight arrived in the mail by looking at the name of the chapters this was going to be a great book!

The beginning of wisdom, validating the voice, the alchemy of dreams, intuitive experiences in everyday life, the well-balanced intuitive, the spiritual path of intuition, and honoring the gift are just some of the chapter titles.

"I listen and diagnose with my intellect and my intuition, a potent inner wisdom that goes beyond the linear mind." 


Second Sight is a raw and honest tell-tell book about how an intuitive spiritual being came into her own. Even though Judith's mother tried to stifle Judith's gifts as a child, Judith persevered and followed her inner calling. The dynamic relationships Judith has encountered through-out her life grabbed us and pulled us into her world. It was so intensely familiar to us we couldn't wait to turn the next page. This is one book we did not want to end.

" At the onset, you must approach intuition with the proper attitude. The power that comes with it can be very seductive, and should always be treated with the utmost respect. For that reason, one must find a mature teacher, both knowledgeable and humble, to guide the initial stages." 

Judith vigorously pursued knowledge to learn about herself and how to tap into her own inner wisdom. Her extraordinary story will keep you spellbound until you the read the last written word in her book,

Childhood Isn't Something We Get Over By Loren Buckner, LCSW

Childhood Isn't Something We Get Over

Many adults want to deny the significance of what happened to them when they were young and vulnerable. Others believe that they should "just get over" any problems they had as they were growing up. The truth is childhood is an important part of who we all are.

Our feelings about ourselves and our expectations of family life begin when we are very small. We are dependent on our parents, not only for the necessities of every day life, but psychologically and emotionally. When needs are mostly met development proceeds at a healthy pace. When needs are not met our overall sense of security is affected, which in turn, impacts our developing confidence and self-esteem.

There’s often inconsistency between what people say about their own childhood and how they feel about tending to the needs of their children. We all agree that kids need to feel safe, happy, and loved. We know a nurturing environment helps boys and girls grow into healthy adults. But then as adults, we frequently tell ourselves that feelings from our own upbringing are irrelevant.
